The last time I wrote, we were preparing for 'Alta Joda' to raise money for our centre and be able to give the children a positive experience, outside of La Boca. Thanks to a successful event (Many thanks to the Buenos Aires Pub Crawl, The Buenos Aires Herald, Whats up Buenos Aires and everyone that turned up) We were able to take 21 or our children to the Zoo!
The children AND volunteers had a great day and it was a reward to the kids for the hard work they had put in, the month before in the classes the volunteers so brilliantly deliver. From Maths, Cooking to Yoga!
You can see pictures of our trip on our facebook page this week!
We are currently working hard to make Alta Joda 2 happen. However, money raised will go on keeping Club Acorn going through some very difficult times. We are planning this event on the 20th May in San Telmo (conformation coming soon!) so if your in the city or know anybody that is, please spread the word for what is a vitally important event to keep Club Acorn de Ninos strong.
Vamos por lo bueno

The children of the centre are currently enjoying their summer holidays and as we approach the new school year, Club Acorn is preparing for a fundraising event to give the children the educational materials they deserve.
For the third time, we are teaming up with the Buenos Aires Pub Crawl on the 27th February. If you are in the city, please come along and support us and bring your friends. We will be meeting at Plaza Armenia at 22.00 before moving on to three bars and a nightclub in Palermo. The night is called Alta Joda a slang term for good times, although at the same time we hope to spread the word of our project and get more supporters on board.
The money raised on the evening will go towards new books, paints, food and hopefully if we have the required numbers - day trips out for the children. Many of us will have fond memories of school trips to the zoo, theatre and museums. It will incredibly satisfying for us all at Club Acorn if the children of La Boca are able to benefit from the same experiences. With fundraisers like this, its definitely possible.
For more information on the evening, we have the flyer on our facebook page, CLUB ACORN INTERNATIONAL.
Wish us luck..for an alta noche.
